About the Counselling Service

Emotional problems can get in the way of your studies and life in general. If you find yourself having problems, you might find it helpful to talk to one of our professionally trained counsellors. Problems people come to us to talk about include:

loneliness

depression

anxiety

panic

sexuality

eating disorders

bereavement

childhood sexual abuse

post-traumatic stress

assault

rape

dependency on alcohol or drugs

and many others.

We can also help with academic matters like exam phobia, procrastination and trouble concentrating.

The Counselling Service is available free to all students at Royal Holloway.

We're also supported by a team of Associate and Sessional Counsellors. Associate Counsellors are fully trained and offer their services voluntarily as they accrue experience for their final accreditation. Sessional Counsellors are accredited counsellors who support the team with additional sessions during peak times. Associate and Sessional Counsellors also work in Founder's West and support us to provide counselling coverage every day of the week.
